First Farmer in the Nation: George Washington’s Lesser Known Story
William Rennie recounts George Washington as one of ten children in a land poor family. Washington became a civil engineer, surveyed the Great Dismal Swamp, and designed a canal later built as part of the inland waterway. He inherited Mount Vernon at twenty, and Martha’s wealth helped, but his pride lay in being the nation’s first farmer rather than Father of His Country.
